This exhibit covers the work of a group of artists from Los Angeles, using the medium of light to convey the sensory phenomena we experience everyday. The work stems from the 1960s and 1970s, exploring the “ flow of natural light, embedding artificial light within objects or architecture, or by playing with light through the use of transparent, translucent or reflective materials. These artists each made the visitor’s experience of light “under controlled and specific conditions”.

The intuition behind using light explores the dynamic relationships between the spaces we occupy. Light can alter the interpretation of the spatial composition of architecture; after all, it was Le Corbusier that said ” architecture is the play of forms under light”. This exhibit shows us just that.
